Lawrence High School Our president, Don Ellery, has been seen down in Woods Hole quite frequently this winter. Do you go down to look over the fish situation Don? This gift I have for you isn’t made by a well-known fish dealer, but it might remind you of pleasant things. Here is a can of sardines. Next is our golf enthusiast, James Costa. Jimmy, here is a little pres- ent for you. The thing all good golf- ers start off on. (A package of tea.) Oliver Swain, will you step up, please? Oliver is going to be a florist and make bigger and better flowers. All right, Oliver, see what you can do with this flour. Monroe Joseph wants to be a nurse. Monroe, that you may have a spare in case of loss, I present you with this thermometer. For Warren Landers I have some- thing that will be amusement for hours to come. Warren made very realistic cow noises in English class which drive us nearly to insanity. To get an example of how you should behave, imitate this mute ccw. We should be presenting a gold medal to Ernest Cardeiro tonight. He has been in a class in which he is the only boy for two years, and he still has iron clad nerves. To prevent you from losing them, Ernest, here is a can of Postum. To Richard Cardoze I am going to present a gift which will enable him to keep his school-girl com- plexion. A bar of Palmolive. Our class is full of brawny brutes. Thure Blomberg is one of them. As we would hate to see you waste your time as a Flat-foot, Thure, please take this pair of arch supporters. Elmer Fuller, will you please step forward. Elmer doesn’t cue a lot about smiling. If you ever do feel inclined to smile, to avoid any cracking, rub in a little of this Pond’s Cold Cream. Joseph Silvia seems a little tired these days. Maybe it’s the cigar- ettes he’s smoking. Here Joseph, get a lift with a Camel. Bob Dufur, I’m going to pick on you next. After considering the situation from every angle, I have decided that you have a flaw. No curls. To make a complete job of it as a “drug store cowboy’’ here is a curling iron. Next is cur little bey with high aspirations, Jimmy Ccbb. Jimmy, I have heard that you want to be a psychiatrist. To aid you in probing deeper into the minds of your sub- jects, please take this little knife. And last and almost least, Mr. Bob Fgeland. Bob is a vsrv pol- ished young gentleman. Bob, to prevent you from tarnishing before you have a chance to crash the 400, keep this handy. A can of shellac. T . . „ Julia Crosby Parker. GIFTS TO THE GIRLS Boy! How I hate to do this! Miss Anna Douthart, I’m going to pick on you first. Anna, when in singing, you reach high “c”, it sounds like a police siren. We give you this siren, to keep your sharps from getting flat. Speaking of sirens, Miss Connie Bourne is the class siren. Miss Bourne wants to be a nurse, so we give you a bottle of smelling salts. I suggest that you might use them to wake up a certain young L. H. S. graduate. Miss Bertha Jenkins, please step forward. Bertha you’re always but- ting into everything. So that you

Lawrence High School % can butt to your heart’s content and still make very little impres- sion, .we give you this cast iron billy goat. Miss Beatrice Emerald, you’re next. Beatrice your nickname is “Blimp”. I’m sure you don’t weigh so much as this little “blimp”. Miss Phyllis Boynton, please step up. Phyllis you’re the most quiet girl in the class, therefore we award you this diploma for quietness. Miss Jane Douthart, step up, please. Jane, you do so much talk- ing that we think you should be a lawyer. Since it would be a long time before you’re admitted to the bar, we admit you to this one. (Wooden bar). Miss Adelaide Hildreth, front, please. Miss Hildreth you are al- ways chewing gum. Give Wrigley a break, and chew on this teething ring. Miss Kathryn Lawrence next, please. Miss Lawrence is the class artist. To help your artistic abil- ity along we give you this excellent paint brush. Miss Mary Fernandes, we’re go- ing to call on you next. When you laugh, Mary, the only animal that can give you competition is this little donkey. Helen Dee Nightwine, will you be next? Helen, as a reminder to drive your car at a moderate speed and keep away from the telephone poles, we give you this police ticket. Lillian Parker is the next un- lucky one. Lillian, your ambition is to be a private secretary. We give you this small pencil so that you can get plenty of practice. An- other thing, a good secretary should mind her boss. Blush for the audi- ence, Lillian! — Thank you. Olive Peck, front please. Miss Peck has a passion for new Fords and also a young man by the name of Chisel. To help you chisel a ride in that new Ford we give you this one. (Chisel). Agnes Romiza, you’re next. You all know Agnes is quite a dress- maker. To enable you to do some fine needle work, Agnes, we give you this needle and thread (very large). Miss Thelma Robichaud, step up, please. Thelma, your nickname is “Tugboat Annie.” You’re very much like Marie Dressier, eve ' h - ugh you are slightly heavier. That little difference doesn’t matter though, so we give you this tugboat. I guess we’ll call on Elizabeth Wells next. We haven’t been able to scrape up anything against Elizabeth. No one seems to know much about her. Miss Wells, be- cause you’re the dark horse of the class we give you this little dark horse. Miss Carolyn Gomes is the next one. Miss Gomes, I notice you do quite a bit of talking. You say more in five minutes than anyone else says in an hour. As a reward for your vocal abilities we give you this microphone. We shall now call on Helen Fish. Helen, you do a lot of whispering in your English class. We figure you have something up your sleeve. Whenever Mr. Allen looks your way, your face has a guilty look. This time we’re going to give you an empty sleeve. You can’t pos- sibly have anything up this one. Miss Julia Parker, I’m giving the audience a break by ending up with you. You’re the last but not the least. Julia, you should be an actress, because you’re a very hot number. To keep you cooled off, we give you this fire engine. Robert Egeland.
